TV Nostalgia, Crustaceans Revisited & Moving To Mars

April 10, 2026·41 min·3 clips

Joanne reveals she would lie via text but not in person, then Vogue announces a trip to St. Barts to buy a crab for her lobster.

1. My Therapist Ghosted Me records a long-distance episode with Joanne McNally calling from Melbourne at quarter to midnight and Vogue Williams in St. Barts. 2. Joanne McNally is an Irish comedian currently on an Australian tour; Vogue Williams is a TV presenter and co-host; both are the show's regular hosts. 3. The episode has no single thesis — it functions as a wide-ranging catch-up touching on tour life, cultural nostalgia, consumer news, and friendship dynamics. 4. Joanne reports that her Melbourne Comedy Theatre opening night ran an hour and forty minutes, forty minutes over schedule, causing the promoter's partner Joel to leave to relieve their babysitter Ryan. 5. She admits texting Vogue that the 'clock broke' before correcting the record on air: 'I would never lie to you to your face, but I will lie to you via text message.' 6. Vogue jokes that Joanne should email ticket holders with a payment link for the additional 40 minutes — '$40 extra' — and do 'a Vogue apology' waiting for positive feedback. 7. Joanne reveals she has eaten poached chicken, Asian greens, and a gin martini at the same Melbourne restaurant, Juno's, for 4.5 consecutive days. 8. Vogue announces a Saturday tattoo appointment for 'bliss' in 'a deadly font' above her knee, inspired by her Australian tour manager Kylie's matching tattoo; she saw the idea on the internet the day before booking. 9. Joanne threatens to text Vogue's mother Pat three times to stop the tattoo, with Vogue begging her not to, insisting Pat 'will fly over and be really embarrassing.' 10. The pair discuss TV nostalgia triggered by a Hannah Montana 20-year reunion, a 13 Going On 30 reboot announcement, a new Harry Potter TV series, and The Devil Wears Prada 2. 11. Joanne describes Round the Twist — a 1990s Australian children's drama — as 'a child version of Black Mirror,' recalling a specific episode where a girl's reluctance to undress in gym class was eventually explained by fingernails growing across her entire body. 12. Vogue reads Italian prosecutor findings that Dior pays $57 to manufacture bags retailing for $2,780 — a 4,800% markup — as part of a broader labor exploitation probe where subcontractors earn as little as $2 an hour. 13. Joanne compares this to Balenciaga selling an empty crisp packet for £1,490 and a roll of sticky tape for £3,500, and both hosts declare they are done entering Dior stores. 14. Vogue describes her habit of going into designer shops 'just to sneer,' and her new 'toxic trait' of finding any item she wants immediately on Vinted for a fraction of the price. 15. Joanne recounts buying a fake Louis Vuitton on Canal Street in New York with Hannah Burner (Des Bishop's wife), feeling like 'one of the Kinahans,' before a police officer approached — and chose a bag for his own partner. 16. Vogue explains the reason for her St. Barts trip: to buy a crab companion for the mounted pāvō lobster she gave Spencer for his birthday five years ago, which is currently in climate-controlled storage with someone called Kevin Carey. 17. The Artemis 2 discussion covers a ten-day mission to fly four astronauts around the moon (not landing), with Joanne reading that the toilet froze and blocked mid-mission because the spacecraft wasn't facing the sun. 18. The tone is chaotic and digressive throughout; both hosts frequently interrupt, fact-check each other poorly, and laugh at their own tangents. 19. Best for fans of unscripted Irish and UK celebrity conversation who enjoy rapid topic-switching and friendship chemistry over structured content. 20. Unlikely to suit listeners seeking factual accuracy, linear storytelling, or focused discussion of any single topic.
